<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1385559, member: 24274&quot;]Time for some new additions. I was lucky enough to win a few nice checks recently on eBay. The first was printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for the Asst. Treasurer in Charleston, SC, circa 1870, during Reconstruction. Nice vignette that I&#039;ve seen elsewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>The check from the Pennsylvania Co. features two vignettes by the American Bank Note Co. It was drawn for a hefty sum in 1874 -- $7,500! The Pennsylvania Co was set up in 1870 to manage Pennsylvania Railroad&#039;s leased lines west of Pittsburgh. It was made out to North Chicago Rolling Mill Co., the biggest steel producer in Chicago at the time. Very likely a large order of rails.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
